Yay! Finally managed to get the cricket! ...or so I thought until I found out that he/she's considered as nothing. :/ I also think more then one story/ending would have made things even more philosophical.
Most of all, I love the simple image style - feels kind and naive - it fits perfectly to this context. GJ!
PS: + I appreciated the 5min game warning. Hope you always keep that up!
This was... interesting. I should give a shout-out to LSD down below for sharing this experience with me. It pretty much went from 0 to 100 really quickly, just like sensationalist media-mongering bubbles. The black humor kinda helped processing the otherwise depressing analogy to what happens in real life. The fact that you, the player, are pretty much forced to press click on the camera on otherwise forgettable events, all while watching your initially silly news get gradually bloated into a doomsday scenario, makes you an inevitable instigator. I wonder if it's also an intended satire on how we are both watchers and watched, a society that thrives on anything as a form of entertainment to feed lobotomized masses. Aaand I'm rambling.
Good game.
This is quite a toughtful game, and wonderful too, just as all of your creations are :)
The theme is really fitting considering what's going on in the world today, and how everyone is feeling about it all. Thank you for sharing <3
Such is life.
I... have many thoughts after playing this. Great execution, great visuals, and most importantly, great message. Definitely worth my time.
